Elena: [in a confessional, Alejandro posing as a priest] Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession. Alejandro Murrieta: Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please.

Elena: [in a confessional, Alejandro posing as a priest] I have broken the fourth commandment, padre. Alejandro Murrieta: You killed somebody? Elena: No, that is not the fourth commandment. Alejandro Murrieta: [pause] Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments. Elena: I dishonored my father. Alejandro Murrieta: That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it. Elena: What? Alejandro Murrieta: I said tell me more, my child.

Elena: Yes, were you looking for something? Alejandro: A sense of the miraculous in everyday life.

Alejandro Murrieta: [whispering to his baby son] And so it was. Lighting split the sky, thunder shook the earth, and then all was quiet. The great warrior known as Zorro was gone. The people of the land gave him a hero's funeral, the largest anyone had ever seen. They came from far and wide to say farewell to their brave and noble champion. But don't worry, little Joaquin. Whenever great deeds are remembered, your grandfather will live on. For there must always, always be a Zorro. And some day, when he's needed, we will see him again... on his fearsome steed Tornado, riding like the wind, his sword blazing in the sun... leaping, jumping, swinging through the air... fighting like a lion. Fighting like a tiger. Fighting... [sees Elena watching him] Alejandro Murrieta: ... as safely as possible. Elena: Is this your idea of putting the baby to sleep?

Elena: When I sleep, I will dream of this dashing rogue Zorro. But what face shall I give him? Alejandro Murrieta: He has been many different men, but he has loved you as all of them. Elena: How can I refuse such a man? Do you know where I might find him? Alejandro Murrieta: You know Zorro. He could be anywhere.

Alejandro Murrieta: [upon first meeting her] Be careful senorita, there are dangerous men about. Elena: Well if you see one, be sure to point him out.

Don Diego de la Vega: [to Elena as he lays dying] The world is a very strange place... to have found you at last - only to lose you again. Elena: You will never lose me, Father.

Zorro: Why are you still wearing his necklace? Elena: I'm under cover! Besides, these are pearls. You never gave me pearls. Zorro: I thought you didn't care about things like that. Elena: I lied. Every woman loves pearls. Zorro: Well, now you have them, *princess*.

Elena: Now keep your promise and go! Zorro: You cheated so I take it back!

Elena: [referring to the meal] It's unusual... is it quail? Armand: Pigeon. [Elena sees the message band attached to the bird and shrieks]

Elena: [looking at the ground] We were never meant to be together. Zorro: [seeing that she can't look him in the eyes] You don't love him. Zorro: [Elena looks up, suprised] After ten years of marriage, you cannot hide the truth from me.
